Lidia Alvarez Veas helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or painful life changes. She meets individuals who find relationships difficult, struggle with low self-esteem, or carry the weight of past trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Lidia writes plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy easier to take. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can speak at their own pace. Conversations focus on understanding what is happening now and how past experiences might be shaping current patterns.

Background and approach

Lidia uses a flexible mix of approaches to suit each person, rather than a single fixed method. Practical skills are part of her work. She helps people build coping strategies to manage mood, reduce anxiety and improve communication.

She also explores issues like codependency, difficulty with control, feelings of emptiness and struggles around family of origin or fatherhood concerns. Her practice pays attention to trauma and to how it affects everyday life. That means noticing survival habits and finding ways to regulate emotions that feel overwhelming.

The aim is to increase self-esteem, strengthen assertiveness and support more satisfying relationships with others and with the self. Lidia has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. Originally from Spain, she studied Communication Sciences before training as a counsellor and now works from the United Kingdom.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions online.

Therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Many of Lidia’s sessions use person-centred ideas that focus on understanding a person’s experience and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs time to find their own answers and feel heard. Cognitive techniques are also used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practise new ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

She combines these approaches flexibly, working alongside each person to find what helps most. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process and may change as goals evolve. The therapist checks in about what is or isn’t working and adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face to face when that matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter, more frequent check-ins or when writing helps to process thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments or relocation and also allow international clients to work with registered or accredited professionals in the United Kingdom.
